Rishan Sangan, and throughout the hills and valleys, were full of remnants of the defeated soldiers of the "Wude Army" who had taken off their armor and left. In the compass, Feng Jinan, who had been sleeping for a long time, still slept soundly with his thumb in his mouth, wrapped in "
"Human Ancestor Cloak" made him hum in comfort.
The soldiers of the "Wude Army" who laid down their weapons and armor and surrendered followed what Wei Hao said, those who are willing to return to their hometowns and those who are willing to surrender.
Wei Hao has also issued orders to all demons and monsters not to harm those who have returned home.
The number of soldiers who were willing to stay and submit was actually not large, but there were about one or two thousand.
"Why are you willing to submit to me?"
Wei Hao walked among the soldiers sitting on the ground and asked this question.
"My hometown is on the shore of Huai River..."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Hao also understood.
No more is needed.
"My hometown, Longji Mountain..."
"My uncle is from Huaiyin."
After walking around, I realized that most of these surrendered soldiers were from Jianghuai, or were blood relatives on both sides of the Huai River.
"I see……"
Wei Hao nodded, and then asked, "Is the Huai River better now? I don't dare to say if I'm full, but if I'm hungry, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
“In the past year, the ‘Wucai Gang’ was added, but life is still difficult.”
"And there are a lot more monsters. They are not monsters in the mountains, but soldiers of nobles from the capital. The enclosures start from 500 acres."
Wei Hao was a little strange: "Enclosure?"
"There has been a severe drought in the past few years, and the fields in many places have actually become so thin that they cannot be cultivated again. However, the monsters who come from the capital bring their own talisman water, which can moisten the fields and plant seeds. One soldier can get a
One hundred and twenty acres of land, and then I can redeem the land for three people, which is about enough land for four people..."
After some explanation, Wei Hao finally understood the operation.
Someone in the capital used Kaihui's spirits as personal soldiers, and then took the land after the drought, transformed it through special means, and made it productive again.
Ordinary people don't know magic and can only stare.
"I remember that since I came to the capital, the imperial court has begun to provide disaster relief. With the strength of the imperial court, such a man-made disaster should be easy to deal with. After the official notification, the people should be able to farm with confidence, right?"
Facing Wei Hao's question, someone seemed to be a relative living in Daming Prefecture, so he explained it to Wei Hao.
"Mr. Wei, after a long-lasting disaster, who can still afford it? Now that people have come to the capital...whether they are people or not, and they have given money to rice and noodles, and to buy more than 300 acres of thin farmland, who can bear it?"
"
"Moreover, Mr. Wei, except for those from rich and noble families, but from a small family, let alone three years, even half a year, the debt will be as high as a mountain. If Shoutian can be sold for three to five taels more, then sell it
That is to say, sold."
"And for those who came from the capital, they also showed me a way. Those of us who surrendered to the army were still from good families and could be selected into the governor's mansion of the five armies. Most of those who were displaced went to work as domestic slaves under the generals and did some work.
The work of coolies."
There is no need to think too much about the bitterness of these words.
Wei Hao was silent for a while and then asked: "How is the Huai River now?"
"Although the 'Huaixia demons' have collapsed, they are too scattered and are now in chaos. Nowadays, there are demon exterminators and spirits everywhere in Huaixia. Ordinary people want to live their lives, and they are always on tenterhooks every day. Now this kind of
The land... was first built with walls surrounding the fields, and then plowed in them."
The courtyard wall is used to block spirits. Wei Hao also knows that there is no need to investigate.
This is how Peng Ruhui, the prefect of Huaiyin, farmed in the city.
When thinking of Peng Ruhui, Wei Hao also sighed with emotion.
"You have established a new 'Wude Army'. Why did you come to Yunmeng Daze this time?"
"Everyone on the mountain said it was to conquer the Yunmeng demon."
"It's exactly what I guessed."
Wei Hao had guessed before that if the three realms colluded, each would definitely get what they needed.
The "Wude Army" uses the excuse of conquering the Yunmeng demons. Firstly, it can reshape the soul of the army and consolidate the power of the army; secondly, it can make a lot of money and plunder the property of the people of Yunmengze.
Killing two birds with one stone is even a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
If it hadn't been for the encounter with Wei Hao before fishing began, and the "Wude Army" had the beginning of rebuilding its military soul, it would have almost been there.
It's a pity that there is no if.
"Mr. Wei, we are willing to serve Mr. Wei, but I don't know how Mr. Wei will arrange for us?"
In fact, these surrendered soldiers did not have the courage to fight with Wei Hao. They were willing to stay just because they followed Wei Hao, and no matter how bad they were, they would not be any worse.
Could it be worse than the three disasters of the Huai River?
"I asked you to follow me in rebellion. You don't have the guts now. Well, I have an old acquaintance here, but it's not the marshal of any governor, but the god of the 'Yunzhong Shenjun Mansion'. With them here, I can't I can take care of you for a while, and if you are willing to help me when you settle down, we can talk about it then, okay?"
"Master Wei..."
The surrendered soldiers who were nearby all lowered their heads in shame. They had small thoughts, and they also knew that Wei Hao was not covetous of the three of them, but even so, Wei Hao didn't mind, and instead pointed to a line. Find a way out.
They are all decent men, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they will be ashamed of themselves in this situation.
"You bury the corpses and arrange these armored soldiers and drums together."
After saying that, Wei Hao took out "Zhiyi Qingye" and shouted: "Xiong Pioneer, General Cat, please show your spirit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came, and mist filled the hills. After a while, the roars of beasts were heard.
Bears, tigers and leopards, everything is there.
But in addition to the ferocious beasts, there are also soldiers and horses in the mist, either coming by water or flying in the clouds.
The leaders were two burly generals wearing special armor and bamboo hats.
As the mana of the array fluctuates, you can see the mist rotating, forming a vortex. The vortex is like a gate, through which thousands of troops and horses file through.
"Wei Gong, where is my lord now?"
The bear was the first to appear, and he suddenly transformed. His armor fell away and turned into ordinary cloth. The green bamboo in his hand was used as a staff. After taking off his bamboo hat, his fat head was revealed.
Seeing Xiong Dongxi again, Wei Hao was a little stunned. He stared at the scar on his left face and asked strangely: "Xiong Xianfeng, how did you get injured?"
"It's a long story, where is my lord?"
"He had a fight and now he fell asleep."
Wei Hao pointed, and Xiong Dongxiong quickly went to the compass to take a look. When he poked his head, he saw Feng Jinan sleeping soundly wrapped in the "Human Ancestor Cloak." This look made Xiong Dongxiang feel very distressed. He turned to Wei Hao and said: "Wei Gong..."
"He is now my disciple and he is practicing the 'martyr's arrogance' with me. If he follows you, he will die in this life. You have to think clearly."
"Someone is stupid."
He turned around and bowed to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao accepted the bow without hesitation.
The entire "Yunzhong Shenjun Mansion" should worship him, he has the qualifications.
Wei Hao, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, pointed to the one or two thousand surrendered soldiers and said: "These are the soldiers of the newly established 'Wude Army'. Last night, I killed the left army governor and the right governor of the palace, so they surrendered. They have no morale and courage now."
Po, I don’t want them to die in vain. Can it be convenient for me to shelter them for a period of time? During this period, they will farm and work instead of just eating and waiting to die."
"It doesn't matter. It just so happens that there is a shortage of manpower in the 'Zhiyi Secret Realm'."
"Then it will be hard work."
After saying that, Wei Hao took out the "Dragon Blood Essence Flower" and handed it over, "Take it."
"Wei Gong!"
"It has been agreed a long time ago. Now I can conclude that you are not deceitful monsters. This is enough."
This time, the "Dragon Blood Essence Flower" is no longer Wei Hao's property, but truly belongs to Xiong Dongxi and Mao Nanbei.
As for whether Wei Hao can cultivate to the realm of earthly immortals with this, it's hard for Wei Hao to say. No one can say for sure about their respective destiny.
The surrendered soldiers of the "Wude Army" were quite shocked when they saw that the person who accepted them was actually a big bear, but with Wei Hao as their guarantee, they naturally had no doubts.
Again, anyone could covet what they ordered, but Wei Hao could not.
The people on both sides of the Huai River were in a desperate situation and only felt the possibility of salvation from Wei Hao.
Some things don't need to be said in detail.
"Xiong Xianfeng, can you now tell me how the injuries on your body came about?"
Seeing the whirlpool of mist gradually increasing, and the soldiers of the "Wude Army" passing through it one by one, Wei Hao stood with his hands behind his back and asked calmly.
"There have been more demons sneaking into the 'Secret Realm of Zhiyi' recently, and some demons look like they came from the sky."
"If you get to the point where nothing can be done, you can lead the crowd to Dongting or Pengli. If anyone obstructs you, you can try to seek help from the 'God of Disaster'."
"Disaster God Lord?!"
Xiong Dongxi felt unlucky when he heard this name, "Wei Gong, do you still have friendship with the 'God of Disaster'?"
"Although we haven't met him directly, he is indeed a comrade whom we have known for a long time."
"..."
Hearing what Wei Hao said, Xiong Dongxiang thought about that unlucky thing, and it was estimated that only Wei Hao could suppress it.
"Don't worry about the 'God of Disaster' appearing in front of you. As long as you can enter the 'Plain of Disaster', at least 90% of the immortal gods in the heaven will not enter and fight for their lives."
Wei Hao said with a mocking tone, "How much incense is there in Yiyuanhui? Why bother causing trouble with the 'God of Disaster' just for a few giant pandas?"
"..."
The bear's fat head and round ears twitched. Although Wei Hao was absolutely right, it sounded extremely awkward.
Suddenly, Xiong Dongxiong found that the soldiers were carrying armor and weapons. He was surprised and said: "Wei Gong, these are the armor soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, the superior equipment of the weapons supervisor, don't you want them?"
"What do I need all this junk for?"
Wei Hao waved his hand, "Go find my twelve hundred hair gods. I don't see anything decent to wear. You can equip them all."
The weapons and equipment here are more than enough for 30,000 men and horses to be commanded, and even if there are 1,200, it will be just a drizzle.
Immediately, Xiong Dongxiong realized that Wei Hao was sending a wave of benefits to them.
"Wei Gong, now that you have fallen out with Xia Shi, it is also the time to hire people. These..."
"No need."
Wei Hao shook his head, "Just don't worry about your men, I won't be short of anything."
After speaking, Wei Hao reminded again: "Recently, there will be many immortals and gods in the heaven coming to earth to appease and conquer. This generation of Lord Yunzhong has not been punished by heaven, and things will not just pass like this. This 'Yunzhong Plain'"
It has also disappeared a long time ago. The 'Zhiyi Secret Realm' maintained by you alone can be defeated by an Earth Immortal, so you must make plans in advance."
"Appeasement?"
Xiong Dongfang frowned, "It's not like I don't have bugles and flags in the heaven, so how can I still use appeasement?"
"If you don't believe it, just watch it first. I'm just reminding you that something like this will happen. Don't be unprepared and get angry and offend the angel, and you will suffer the consequences."
This generation of Lord Yun Zhong has not been condemned by God. That is Lord Yun Zhong's business and cannot involve the soldiers and horses of the "Yun Zhong Shen Lord's Mansion".
Bears like East and West and cats like North and South, as long as they keep to themselves and stick to their duties, that's fine.
But with the collusion of the three realms, many unsightly things have to be removed. This is the case in the underworld of the underworld, and the Mansion of the God in the Clouds in the Yang world... cannot be avoided either.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I've written it down."
Knowing that Wei Hao would not act without aim, Xiong Dongxiong clasped his fists and bowed, keeping this matter in mind.
Then he went to the compass again, looked at Feng Jinan who was sleeping soundly, and then whispered: "My Lord has not slept as sweetly as this for a long time."
"This kid fainted before, so he seemed to be sleeping soundly."
"..."
The panda's claws clenched tightly and were very hard!
I knew it!
Xiong Dongxi looked at Wei Hao with complicated eyes, but Wei Hao didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "No matter how much you feel sorry for him, it's useless. He is alone now, and he is practicing 'martyr arrogance', and he already has the ability to regard death as home."
determination."
"martyr……"
"good."
Wei Hao didn't say too much about the battle scene last night, and there was no need to say it, because the elves among the mountains would spread what they saw.
Just like the people in the "Big Dream", they also know that there is a little doll named "Little Saint Yunmeng" who comes out to help them.
There are horns on the head and a tail on the back. The image of "Little Saint Yunmeng" is very memorable.
"General Cat, are you serious about not coming to see me?"
After Wei Hao saw a whirlpool, there was a hesitant and anxious figure. Was it Mao Nanbei or someone else?
The big flower bear's head popped out and then retracted, and Wei Hao also knew the complicated thoughts behind it.
"No!"
Gritting his teeth, Mao Nanbei decided not to see him again.
He was afraid that his heart might become weak, so he thought about guarding Feng Jinan.
But in today's world, Mao Nanbei is very clear that practicing with Wei Hao is the way out for Feng Jinan.
He had a hunch that whether he could break the "curse" of Yun Zhongjun for many lifetimes would depend on this lifetime.
It is obvious that the lord has an attitude of looking forward to death, but Mao Nanbei always feels that the end of the road to death may not be death.
It is not impossible to live towards death.
"Then take your leave."
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he stood next to the compass and said to Xiong Dongxi, "Next, I will send him to consolidate his cultivation. There will be a big battle later, and it will be inconvenient for him to be by my side."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiong Dongxiong to ask, Wei Hao drove the compass and headed south directly.
